Barloworld Power has filled a gap in its rental offering with a new range of South African designed and manufactured lighting masts. The first stop for Barloworld Power Rental’s new all-South African lighting masts was at Sasol Secunda, where 38 units spent two months lighting up the site over the annual shutdown. The lighting masts formed part of a package of 110 rental machines, including Cat generators ranging from 40 kVA to 500 kVA, delivered by Barloworld Power. Read the article on pages 22 and 23.
